Jeremiah 5:3-5

Authorized (King James) Version

³ O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth?
thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved;
thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction:
they have made their faces harder than a rock;
they have refused to return.
⁴ Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish:
for they know not the way of the Lord,
nor the judgment of their God.
⁵ I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them;
for they have known the way of the Lord,
and the judgment of their God:
but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
